Ports affected by bad weather
Baştuğ Metalurji continues to work in 2 shifts. The producer was unable to complete its scrap imports due to heavy storms and rain in the region. With the improvement of the weather conditions, the scrap ship is expected to approach the port quickly. Many other factories had difficulties in unloading their scrap ships as they could not dock their scrap ships at the port due to weather conditions. For this reason, production in the region was slowed down. Bad weather, flooding in the region disrupted unloading and loading operations at ports for export. Some companies made partial loading.
